Working Shoe for Young Exec - Part 2

[darthsid11111]

Does anyone know what the proper way to measure shoes are? Meermin has v kindly emailed me the measurements of one of their sizes / last, but I'm not sure where and how this should be compared to my current pair of shoes - some of the measurements look quite off (Especially if I am measuring from, f.e.x. sole):

Measure your foot

They've just given you completely useless information.
The length of the outsole / or even the insole, does not correspond to the actual length of your foot. There is plenty of deadspace in the toe of the last. And the length of this dead space varies widely between makers and lasts.
There's also no way a 27.2cm foot (longest length) corresponds to a uk9. I'm a 27.5 and I'm a comfortable uk8.5 in most lasts, uk8 in some. Unless the last is ultra ultra narrow.

Folks, i am selling away my Carmina single monk split toe shoes in antiqued brown calf.

Here is a photo. https://www.instagram.com/p/BIQ8OB_Dx4T/

I am pricing this to sell, as i have absolutely no need for this pair which has proven to be too tight. UK 9 in Simpson last.

Please PM for details. Thanks.

Carlos Santos derby
Beautiful last & finish, leather a bit stiff but break-in quite painless
wears slightly bigger than my other english shoes of the same size though... could it be its derby instead of oxford?

One of the choices I was considering for my first GYW.. May get a pair yet, down the road. Very nice, thanks for sharing!

Yup from skoat

Surprise that you fancy Carlos Santos, considering your other recent shoes were C&J Handgrades and Cleverleys (if memory serves me right). Perhaps for the variety..

trying the different range... I also bought Meermins but gave up liao
Anyway that pair of derby looks too tempting

 

[Daniel.Y]

Yup from skoat

Please wear them more often and give a brief review. I wonder how they hold up after some time. Nice colour choice anyway.

Congrats. The CS 160 last looks very sleek and elegant

Antonio's webshop is up and contains a very short, concise, and useful writeup on shoe construction methods, and how his Argentum RTW shoes are made. Worth a read.

Received my first GYW shoes - a pair of burgundy Loake Strands and they fit perfectly. Can't wait to wear them
